Did you ever hear the story about Saul Alinsky's influence on Hillary
Clinton and Barack Obama? If not you can giggle it.
    Saul supposedly said something along the lines of "The very first
radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did
it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer."
    Although the modern words may belong to Saul, the sentiment
doesn't. It dates back millennia to the start of Gnosticism.

_The Hidden Life is Best! - Francis Bacon and the Gnostic English Empire_
talks about such topics (but not Clinton and Obama specifically). There's
free audio available at <https://thehiddenlifeisbest.com/episodes>

Long story short, all of the free episodic excerpts were recently heard
by me.
